Generating Pump System Resistance Curve

This document describes how to generate a system resistance curve for a fixed pump system configuration using pump affinity laws. It provides equations relating flow rate, head, and speed that allow calculating the differential head at different flow rates. An example is given of a rated pump flow of 30 m3/h at a head of 100 m, and the corresponding system resistance curve is plotted from calculated head values at different flows.

Generating Pump System Resistance Curve Using Pump Affinity Laws

A system resistance curve for where the pump suction and discharge system configuration is fixed ca
using the pump affinity laws as per the procedure given below. This procedure does not include any su
change in system resistance using methods such as manual valve pinching or control valve throttling.
